GENUINE DEliCACY.

Denman Thomp.on's New Pisy. The Old
Homestead"-A Note from MIR. Harger.
To the Editor of the Republic:
On arriving in the city this morning my
attention was called to TIE friendly notice
of Denman Thompson's new play. The
Old Homestead" published in the REPUB-
Lie last evening. | am not able TO state
nor have at any time claimed. The Old
Homestead" is the play written by me and
sold to Mr.. Thompson. 1t is true wrote
a play which he purchased. and it might as
appropriately be called ''fhe Old Home
stead" as the title originally given. All
actors in making u n p Irchases re-
serve the privilege of changing the title
or text, which may have been done,
as regards the title, IN this instance. Not
having seen al outline of the plot, as usu-
ally published. | am unable 10 positively
identify The Old Homestead as the play
| sold TO Mr.. Thompson. In case ii is the
production of another the author is entitled
TO all the credit and friendly words pub
lished in the REPUBLIC: in case it is the
one furnished him, Under new name,
then | am confident of getting full value
fo- what time and money | may spend i'll
attending the play when presented here.
Truly yours, etc,
{. q. HARGER, Jr.

LUNACY iNOUESTS.
Benz. Brown TO he Sent to the Asylum, and
Another Case on this Afternoon.

BeDj. Brown to be Sent to the Asylum, and
Another Case on this Afternoon.
An inquest of lunacy was held this
Saturday morning by Probate Judge Mil
Ter In the case of Benz. Brown, for whom
an affidavit was filed yesterday by Chief
Walker. Brown is an Englishman who has
been in this county forabout two years. He
lives with his family at ~ south Plum
street and has been dry goods clerk by
occupation. He was last in the employ of
Albright, Willis Il Co. His case is rather
peculiar. and the cause is hard TO trace, un-
less il be to his drinking habits. to which
he was strongly addicted. One of his illu-
sions is that different persons.
as the man and wife who live in
the house with him. are trying to
break into his own room and kill him. He
knocked his daughter down the other day,
and his family simply could not get along
with him any longer. Application has
been made for his reception at the Dayton
asylum.
DIR. Rodgers this morning filed an affida-
Wit for the purpose of having an inquest
over John knaub, well known citizen
formerly associated with his father as pro-
prietor of the old Murray house, and after
ward in the queensware business. He is
an epileptc and this probably is the cause
of his strange actions. His case is set for
o'clock this afternoon.
